I have sent it on to licensing as well now and had the automated
reply, so its queued (#1038932)
Thanks for looking at this, I think things will be so much easier with
people such as your self who understand the issues able to table them
internally.

I think the discussions *need* to involve people such as Debian legal
and other legal teams from other distros. I think we are in a good
position where all sides can negotiate and find hopefully an agreement
here.
Not sure the best way to organize this?
I agree the Trademark issue is difficult but lets just remember that
our goals are compatible here. I (and others) are attempting to
package the viewer up so its available to a wider audience (and
perhapses fix some bugs along the way). LL want more users -> more
potential premium accounts and or money coming in world etc - ???? -
profit! . Please let us demonstrate how an open-source/commercial
project can work together and not fight over silly issues :-)
Best regards
